About the Item

The Haughty - Purgatory, Plate - 11 is a woodcut print realized in 1963 for a series illustrating the Medieval poem of the "Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri. Not signed, as issued. Good conditions. Limited edition of 2900, realized by Unione Editoriale, Italy. Ref. Michler-Lopsinger no. 1039/1138, pp.102/114. Prov. Private Collection Rome, Italy. Between 1951 and 1960, Dali was invited by the Italian government to commemorate the birth of Dante Alighieri, Italy’s most famous poet, by producing a series of illustrations for a full-text Deluxe edition of Dante’s masterpiece, the "Divine Comedy". However, in 1958 a new government was elected in Italy, which objected to the idea of entrusting the illustration of the "Divine Comedy" to a foreign artist. As a result, Dali decided to offer the project to the French publisher, Joseph Forêt and the publication was completed on November 23rd, 1963. Dalí painted 100 watercolors in preparation for the publication of the “Divine Comedy.” These watercolors explored the many myths and elements of the magnificent work of literature by the great Dante Alighieri. These drawings were then reproduced using a wood engraving technique. Then an Italian edition was made, using the same woodblocks.

Etude de Personnages, Cubist Lithograph After Pablo Picasso
By Pablo Picasso
Located in Long Island City, NY
Carrying baskets filled with vines, the figures in this Pablo Picasso print lean forward to balance the weight on their shoulders and in their hands. On the left, a nude woman walks behind them across the blanketed brown landscape with a deep blue sky. A lithograph from the Marina Picasso Estate Collection after the Pablo Picasso painting "Etude de Personnages". The original painting was completed in 1906. In the 1970's after Picasso's death, Marina Picasso, his granddaughter, authorized the creation of this lithograph by Laurent Marcel Salinas, who worked closely with Picasso during his lifetime. The limited edition print run was completed and published by Marina Picasso in conjunction with Jackie Fine Arts in 1982. The lithograph is printed on French Arches paper, ink-stamped by the Estate verso, and hand-signed and numbered by Marina Picasso on the recto. The embossed seal of the Estate is lower right and the printer's chop, lower left. Etude de Personnages Pablo Picasso (After), Spanish (1881–1973) Portfolio: Marina Picasso Estate Lithograph...
